TO ESTIMATE THE
CHARGE INDUCED ON
EACH OF THE TWO

(OR PITH) BALLS
SUSPENDED IN A

MAKING USE OF
COULOMBS LAW
Coulomb
Coulomb graduated in
November 1761 from cole
royale du gnie de Mzires.
Over the next twenty years he
was posted to a variety of
locations where he was
involved in engineering structural, fortifications, soil
mechanics, as well as other
fields of engineering. His first
posting was to Brest but in
February 1764 he was sent to
Martinique, in the West Indies,
where he was put in charge of building the new Fort Bourbon and
this task occupied him until June 1772.
On his return to France, Coulomb was sent to Bouchain.
However, he now began to write important works on applied
mechanics and he presented his first work to the Acadmie des
Sciences in Paris in 1773. In 1779 Coulomb was sent to
Rochefort to collaborate with the Marquis de Montalembert in
constructing a fort made entirely from wood near Ile d'Aix. During
his period at Rochefort, Coulomb carried on his research into
mechanics, in particular using the shipyards in Rochefort as
laboratories for his experiments.
Upon his return to France, with the rank of Captain, he was
employed at La Rochelle, the Isle of Aix and Cherbourg. He
discovered an inverse relationship of the force betweenelectric
charges and the square of its distance, later named after him
as Coulomb's law.
COULOMBS LAW
In 1785 Augustine de Coulomb investigated the attractive and
repulsive forces between charged objects, experimentally
formulating what is now referred to as Coulombs Law: The
magnitude of the electric force that a particle exerts on another is
directly proportional to the product of their charges and inversely
proportional to the square of the distance between them.
Mathematically, this electrostatic F acting on two charged
particles (q1, q2) is expressed as
OBJECTIVE:To estimate the charge induced on each of the two identical styro
foam (or pith) balls suspended in a vertical plane by making use
of coulombs law.
